OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To Turn On Air Conditioner
If you have a heating/cooling thermostat:
1. Set the system switch to "Cool."
2. Set the thermostat at the temperature level
you desire.
3. Turn the power on. Your air conditioner
should start as soon as room temperature
rises above the setting on the thermostat.
If you have one thermostat for heating and
another for cooling, they must be interlocked to prevent simultaneous operation
(See Figure 1):
1. Turn the heating thermostat to its lowest
possible setting.
2. If the cooling thermostat has an "On/Off"
switch, turn it "On."
3. Set the cooling thermostat to the desired
temperature.
4. Turn the power on. Your air conditioner
should start when room temperature exceeds the thermostat setting.
To Shut Off Air Conditioner
If you have a heating/cooling thermostat:
1. Turn the system switch to "Heat" or "Off."
2. Turn the thermostat to the desired heating
temperature setting.
3. If you are turning your air conditioner off for
the winter or an extended period, shut off
the power to the air conditioner.
In addition, follow these simple rules:
1. Never run your system without filter. If you
do, the cooling coils will get dirty and may
become clogged.
2. Set your thermostat at the comfort level
you wish -- and then leave it alone. Let it
control the operation of the air conditioning
system. If you get chilly, turn it up a degree
at a time until comfort is restored.
3. It takes longer for an air conditioner to cool
your dwelling than it does for your furnace
to heat it. So . . . don't turn the unit on and
expect a dramatic drop in temperature, at
least not right away. If your home is hot and
humid, the temperature will drop slowly.
4. Check your filters every ten days in summer to see if they are dirty. To keep them
clean, use a mild solution of detergent and
water on washable types. Replace non
washable filters.
5. Keep your outdoor condenser coil clean.
You can hose it down when it gets dirty.
If your air conditioner isn't working:
1. Make sure the fuses are not blown or that
your circuit breakers are on.
2. See that your thermostat is set at the
desired temperature and that your system's
switch is on "Cool."
3. For free air flow, make sure your return
register is not covered and that the filter is
clean.
4. Check the outdoor condenser coil and
make sure it is clean and not clogged with
grass or leaves.
If your air conditioner still isn't working, call your
nearest distributor.
If you have one thermostat for heating
and another for cooling, they must be
interlocked to prevent simultaneous
operation (See Figure 1):
1.
2.
3.
Turn your cooling thermostat "Off" or to its
highest setting.
Turn the heating thermostat to the desired
temperature.
If you are turning your air conditioner off for
the winter or an extended period, shut off
the power to the air conditioner.
BEFORE YOU CALL A SERVICEMAN
Let your serviceman check your system at the
start of each air conditioning season. He will
make sure it's working right, clean or change
filters and make any needed adjustments.
